Plus it's a major purchase, so therefore Ram has to advise and authorize.

not speaking for RAM of course, but there are things to consider... how far are you sitting from the tv..?? how many windows are there in the room..? lots of new technology but I like my 46" plasma.... 😟

Every time I look at my TV I think I want a bigger one, then I see my neighbor with his 57" and think it's too big. 52" seems to be just right for me. I don't strain to seethe image and it doesn't look like the center of the room.

Bout 8-10 feet one big window.

I heard plasmas die fast. Though their dark spectrum performance is better, I guess black chick porn would look better. Should consider that I spose.

Sounds about the same size as my room. I personally wouldn't go bigger than a 55". I'm fond of the Sony aquos line (have one in the bedroom) and the Sony Bravio (living room) although the Samsung has caught my eye more than once in the store.

No such things.

It's Sharp Aquos and Sony Bravia

Both are excellent sets.

It's just in the last year or so that the Samsung has really got their **** together with the LEDs.

A year ago, if I were buying for myself, it would have been a Bravia XBR or an Aquos for the smaller sizes; today, I'd probably go with a Samsung LED or the Panny 3D set, but I'm not totally sold on the 3D technology yet. I'd want to see more development of it first.

As for screen size, buy the biggest you can fit and afford. HD is supposed to be both enveloping and large to get the details. The NTSC standard and dinky screens are dead, embrace the future. Look up "Lechner distance scale" for the sizes per viewing distance. THX also has a scale, which is a bit smaller, that you can go by.

Sharp, Sony, both start with an "S". It's an older LCD, actually it was the first 32" 1080P LCD on the market.

Good info there TG, thanks.

Interesting that someone mentioned a 3d set. I can't escape the feeling that the 3d tvs are another "fad" and that people are going to get really tired of having to wear special glasses just to watch Anthony Bourdain eating raw seal eyeballs. They have a couple set up in Costco, and I can't watch sans glasses for any length of time without getting the beginnings of a pounding headache - I certainly wouldn't be able to pause to watch for a minute as I crossed the living room and then move on. It just feels so gimmick-y to me...

C'mon, Bourdain eats mostly normal stuff. It's that Zimmerman freak who would suck the eyeballs out of a baby seal's face.

Tammy,

3D TV's work in 2D mode too you know...

I don't think they are going to be a passing fad either. Not with the increasing numbers of movies being shot in or post-processed for 3D. I do think that it's possible that they might only be a nitch market for many years though.

They still have some issues to work out, namely in how the images are converged, personally, I'd wait for the next generation of them in a year or so, but that's just me.

47" LG 3d tv with 4 sets of lightweight glasses,( Like at the Movie theater, 9.95 for additional ones), plus a Blue Ray dvd player for 799 , right now at Best Buy ! Early Black Friday sale.. I think today is the last day until black friday.. Looks good but nowadays my 50"1080 plasma Panasonic is looking small, but it looks 3d without the glasses, a Kick ass set!
